You guys crack me up with your bigger motor nonsense.

I've never heard anyone say that about an R6, GSXR-6, CBR-6, ZX6, etc.

IT IS A MIDDLEWEIGHT BIKE!

If you want a bigger motor, buy a different bike.

I'm not sure which part of this you aren't hearing correctly. People like the look of the bike but would like to see a bigger motor in it. Same layout and package with a different motor. What is so hard to grasp here?

Just because Buell offers you the option to go slow or slower on your XB doesn't mean most manufacturers do that.

Usually, a new motor means new frame, geometry, etc. Essentially a new bike.

Ducati is the only brand to successfully offer the same basic (sport) bike with two different powerplants.

Not true, the GSX-R600 and 750 are identical with the exception of cc's

You're right, I forgot about the 750.

They still make that thing?

That is the point. With the GSXR, ZX, CBR and YZF, you have a choice of a 600 or 1000. Triumph does not offer that choice, and that is why people say it would be awesome with a bigger motor.

A 1050 motor in that would be awesome.
